you can also just take a rca cable and cut off one end,to do this wire the end you just cut to the speaker of your choice, and plug the other end in to the amp

I searched the forums but wasnt quite sure what some of the guys meant. Is it possible to get RCA cable and cut off one end and T splice it with one of the rear speakers and plugging the other end into the amp and using that to get a signal for the sub????

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
get an output converter

Only if the amps RCA jacks are high (speaker) level inputs - which is doubtful.

Remove the back seats, the the back parts, not the actual seat (under you A$$) part.
you will gain a bit more space with it

try placing the sub somewhat face down, put the pointed end in first, and slowly tilt the box back wards... once you get the box in there you should have plenty of room to move it around..



crappy drawing but with some slight manouvering it should go it

If I had two amps, one of which I thought sounded better than the other, I would definitely want the cheaper amp driving the sub(s) instead of midrange!!

wow dude i would just wire them into the rear speakers

Solid green goes to the positive on the drivers side speaker (brown wire)

Green and Black goes to the negative on the drivers side speaker (yellow wire)

Solid gray goes to the positive on the passenger side speaker (dark blue wire)

Gray and Black goes tot he negative on the passenger side speaker (light blue wire)

then twist the who black wires together and put then on a good chases ground
